CHIME Podcast: Innovative Tech Solutions for Methadone Treatment Access and Efficiency

I recently joined Taylor McPartland, CEO of ScaleHealth, for a conversation about the operational realities facing opioid treatment programs (OTPs) and how thoughtful innovation can help.

In this episode, we explored how robotic dispensing and interoperable software infrastructure are strengthening methadone treatment delivery in real clinical environments.

The focus wasn't on technology for technology's sake, but on helping programs:

• Support nurses under workforce strain
• Reduce dosing bottlenecks
• Improve communication between clinicians and patients
• Expand access without compromising safety

The opioid crisis demands tools that are reliable, compliant, and operationally realistic. As the CHIME Opioid Task Force has long emphasized, clinicians need systems that are easy to use, secure, and built for long-term care delivery.

At Opio, we believe innovation must serve the mission: expand access to life-saving care while strengthening the people delivering it.

If you're working to modernize OTP operations or improve access to MOUD, I invite you to listen to the full episode:

The future of opioid treatment will be built on infrastructure that supports clinicians, not technology that replaces them.
